"So, strategy plan. Buffy teaches me some moves, how to behead things etc, etc.. Then I'm supposed to save Willow without either of us being killed. I am going to say one word. *How?!*"
Xander had got over his immediate surprise, and was trying to come to terms with the plan.
"I mean, Buffy is strong, and she kicks butt real well. But me......"
"Look Xander, the demon will already be weakened by you being there - you are the only person who can save Willow, and the demon will sense that, especially since you can draw power from it to fight it," Giles told him, having been reading up on the demon since he had been mentioned.
"Giles is right Xander. I can't save Willow. You *can*. You're the ONLY one who can," Buffy told him.
Xander straightened his shoulders, "Yeah! I'm the only one who can save Willow. And I'll do it if it kills me!"
He looked round at the group as he said that, and registered their looks.
"OK, that was *so* not a cliché to use at this time."
